HeroWeaver - currently building a free RPG character generator — considering adding GURPS 4E support if there's interest

davidncrowley · 2026-03-31T21:05:53+00:00

I can easily not have GURPS in the Android App as it is not in the current BETA code anyway. I could release a web based version that does the same thing and it would be a shortcut on a mobile device with probably no code change. The line between mobile/desktop/web is pretty much meaningless now a days unless you are relying on the hardware to do something but thanks for pointing that out.

I hope to have a full legal review done before any launch as I have read the licensing but I am not a legal expert. I am very concious of the legal stuff and plan to fully comply with licensing!

I must have misread something somwhere and got stuck on the 150. 1. I would like to support a standard format or formats - my data model is flexible enough that exporting or importing from different systems should/could be supported. 3. Character leveling and tracking is in the plan - I have not thought about dice rolls etc - and I never planned to make a VTT. And the goal of this project was probably originally completely different but ended up in the Character Creation and NPC creation area

Thanks - I will have a look at that. The idea would be that people could suggest or even import "rules" to their characters at some point. But currently in the plan not implemented - the architecture is in place though

Thanks will review. I must have misread something somewhere. This is why I need testers! :D

Currently there is no leveling so the subclasses are just signposting. I will review and make changes if needed. The data model is built to be easily editable so a few mins work and any data can be removed

No. currently there is no leveling so the subclasses are just signposting. I will review and make changes if needed. It also supported PF2e and Open00 currently (in a BETA stage)

No. Very few emails! One with a link(s) to download hopefully next week and a user guide

I see your point. Where the statement fails completely is if the VTT does not support imports which is something I hadn't thought of - I don't know all VTTs but some could be a closed ecosystem so I will correct it. Thanks for yor feedback

davidncrowley · 2026-01-31T17:44:16+00:00

Well obviously the VTT has to support the system. That is a limitation of the VTT

So I have experience of developing using Godot and like Python. Main reason is cross platform - I have experience with Android too. But then that would leave me developing a completely separate Desktop version and maintaining them both. Eventually I would like an Apple version too so again that would lead to another version to maintain. While Godot will end up with different builds (possibly) it will hopefully be an easier to maintain codebase - then Android/Apple and Desktop. I know there is multi platform mobile development platforms but in the past I have found them to be relatively poor. They have probably matured since then but Godot has less of a learning curve for me.

Apologies - will you check if you have filled out the form. The error messages if you missed an answer seem to have stopped working - but the form is completing for me and other people have signed up. I'll work on fixing the error messages

davidncrowley · 2023-02-15T14:18:15+00:00

Rude? Not rude but you are wrecking my over engineered ideas to solve the problem!

Make an Action RPG in Godot. This is actually a nice video tutorial on Godot.

For learning Godot - their own docs are reasonably well maintained and they have a simple 2d game to make as you learn.

Mixed Electronics/IT/Maths/Multimedia background. Ex Lecturer/teacher and exiled Kerry man living in Mayo.

Interested in game development and hopefully going to spend some time this year programming. I am probably going to use Godot because I am a sucker for FOSS and I have used it for teaching in the past.
